I had the opportunity to go out drawing in one of my favorite places last week, Bryant Park. In the summertime it overflows with life and is one of the best places for people watching. Here is a panoramic drawing I made while doing just that. You can see another drawing from the day at my blog www.gregbetza.com

This has been some week. I recently ordered a new camera (see below) and as I awaited its arrival, my computer died. Funny coincidence, both the new camera and computer were here on Monday evening accompanied by a new moon in the sky. I think it’s time for new beginnings.

The Tour De France concluded on Sunday in Paris, and as I watched the coverage and the amazing shots of the city, I fell in love with Paris…again. A few of my good friends were there drawing the race and I couldn’t help but think of the time I spent drawing in Paris in 2006. Here is a small drawing I made of Notre Dame.

I spent an hour or so yesterday drawing some boats at a dock in Hoboken, NJ. Here is one that I particularly liked.

Try to enjoy your Monday!

I spent some time at Ground Zero Friday. It’s an incredibly powerful place, I imagine unlike any other. The site has been transformed into a city of cranes and construction. I can’t help but think that this is exactly how it must have looked in the 1970s during the building of the Twin Towers.

While I still terribly miss what once was, I’m happy to see a new beginning for lower Manhattan.

I spent some time watching tennis yesterday and I did a few drawings from the screen. It’s a great way to practice when you don’t have a model. Here is one I was particularly happy with.

here is a painting from a few years ago. I haven’t seen this one in a while, but I’ve always liked it.
